Case Study-3 New Blogs Get High Google SERPs

Micro Niche Finder

niche marketing, long tail keywords, high paying keywords

The Great Experiment is now about 10 days along and I have some results to report.

Three of my new blogs just got indexed yesterday, all appearing on the second page of Google for their respective long tail keywords. Not a bad place to make their debute.

They all have to do with personal injury lawyers. Yes I know you probably think I am a low life for putting up blogs on this topic, but the fact remains that good people sometime these services, and these lawyers pay more for their Adword ads than a lot of other service businesses.

The three new blogs are:

  • http://newjerseymalpracticelawyers.blogspot.com/
  • http://newyorkaccidentlawyers.blogspot.com/
  • http://personalinjurylawyerssandiego.blogspot.com/


Now I could have just made one blog about personal injury lawyers, medical malpractice lawyers or accident lawyers. But my trusty Micro Niche Finder showed me that those terms were too broad and had too much competition.

On the other hand, Micro Niche Finder also showed me that New Jersey, San Diego and New York were the best keywords to use.

Now compare these three with another blog I started around the same time that is not doing as well. Do It Yourself Home Improvement was clearly too broad a topic. I should have (and will) break that topic into kitchen remodeling, cabinet making, bathroom remodeling, landscaping, etc.

I have already learned that a good topic is a better topic if I focus on several long tail keywords. My Micro Niche Finder showed me to break "lawyers" into three small niches and keywords. But I didn't consider that option with the do it yourself remodeling idea. Live and learn.

Something else. I have not used original content for any of these blogs so far. All of them came from ezinearticles.com, yet I suffered no penalty for the so called "duplicate content" slap.

My belief is that if I target a small enough niche, use good SEO techniques and keep adding content, the duplicate content boogy man will not hide in my closet at night.

I am also setting up Google alerts on each of my keywords so I can receive email notices when something new hits the web on these niches.

That's all for today. I'll keep you informed.

How The Niche Blogging Experiment Hopes to Make Money

Micro Niche Finder

I just set up a new niche, long tail keyword blog on Roth IRAs distribution limits. Why? Well I am mildly interested in the topic but I can't say it is a burning passion.

But as a blogger, I consider myself a provider of specialized information on a variety of topics. I really buy into the concept of long tail keywords, which means I took the topic of Roth IRAs and used my Micro Niche Finder tool to narrow it down into search engine requests that have very little competition. I did not go after the highly competitive "Roth IRA" keyword itself.

The two keywords I targeted combine for about 3900 Google searches per month. If one-third of those searchers find my blog (after a few months when the blog gets indexed and my SEO measures begin to take effect)that will be about 1300 visitors each month.

Since there is so little competition for these keywords, and since I will be using SEO techniques to target them, I hope I can get first page Google page rankings for these search terms within a few months.

Let's say about one-fifth of these 1300 people click on the ads. That is about 260 clicks. I have no idea how much Google will pay on these ads, but I'm hoping for $1 or more. That would be $260 per month for that blog alone.

My math still feels like it is probably too optimistic somewhere in this process, so I'll round these numbers down to $100 a month for this one blog. But even that sounds awfully good to me since I plan to put up many blogs over time.

But one thing I have noticed already: I am starting to become much more interested in the topic of Roth IRAs distribution limits than I was before.
